It is for a reason that we decorate our Christmastrees with silver tinsel or red baubles, etc. I think it’s related to phenomena we see in nature. For example the red berries in holly bushes or – like I saw today – the silvery reflection from rain or dewdrops on twigs and grasses. We like these uplifting sights in winternature where it is otherwise quite dull, and therefore we like to have them in our homes as well.
